Lynne's Custom Framing

Artists

We offer artwork from many local Clarksville, Tennessee artists, as well as artists based in our nearby state capital, Nashville. Original watercolors, etchings, Chinese brush paintings, photographs and polaroid transfers are available at Lynne's, as well as signed prints, Spirit of Nashville posters, notecards and post cards. We carry some unique wire tree sculptures, as well as some carved and turned wood pieces.

Lynne's Custom Framing also frames for needlework designer Linda Stolz and her popular company, Erica Michaels Needleart Designs. Linda's beautiful designs are distributed nationally, and most of the framed models shown on the covers were done right here in Clarksville at Lynne's. (See the July/August 2010 issue of Just CrossStitch magazine for a feature about Linda's work and to see some of our needlework framing.)

We've included links when possible to our artists own websites so you may see more about them and their work.

Jan Williams ~ Original watercolors

Jan is our featured artist and a Clarksville native. She paints mainly realist watercolor scenes from nature, as well as some less traditional nature still life and abstract works. Dunbar Cave is a favorite subject of Jan's.

Jan has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Austin Peay State University and is a member of the Tennessee Watercolor Society. Her work has been included in museum and gallery shows, and Lynne's is proud to be the only local gallery offering Jan's beautiful original watercolors.

David Magers ~ Bird photography

David's nature photography includes close-up images of all kinds of bird species. Amazing detail lets us see individual feathers on a hummingbird's throat!

After retiring in Clarksville, David says he was encouraged to set out a bird feeder and responded with, "What's the point?" He has since identified at least 46 bird species in his own back yard, and the "point" has become capturing beautiful images of these fascinating little creatures.

We offer images in 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, and on individual notecards.

You can view his pictures on Facebook at David Magers Photography, or stop in our gallery anytime.

Gerald Sanders ~ wire sculpture

Gerald Sanders starts with hundreds of straight 23 gauge wires and ends up with beautiful replicas of leafless trees in winter.

Using hand tools, this Nashville artist tightly twists the wires to form tree trunks, then patiently separates the wires, shaping them into tree branches. We carry his black wall sculptures in three styles: windblown, weeping, and upright.

Sanders says, "My favorite time of year is winter when all the leaves are gone from the trees. Trees have so much more character when they are bare. Only then do you realize how individualistic they are."

joe fizer ~ photography

Mr. Fizer's stunning black and white and color photography is created using 8x10 film with amazing results. This Nashville native often spends weeks, even years, waiting for all the elements he's looking for to come together for just the right shot.

Focusing on the architectural, cultural, and natural landmarks in the area for the last few years, Fizer has created beautiful giclee prints of Clarksville's historic downtown, Nashville landmarks and scenes, and surrounding areas as well. At his website, joefizerphotography.com, you can see the full range of his work and learn more about him.

We carry a selection of his work, and are glad to special order anything you may see on his website that we do not already stock.

tracie griffith tso ~ original chinese brush art

Clarksville was lucky enough to have California native Tracie Griffith Tso as a resident for several years, and we are so happy to offer her original Chinese brush paintings in our gallery.

Tracie began studying Chinese painting at age 12, and has taught and lectured on the art style in museums and galleries across the country.

We offer original ink and pigment paintings on rice paper by Tracie Griffith Tso.

beverly parker ~ polaroid transfers

Beverly Parker is a long-time Clarksville resident who makes beautiful, unique art combining her photography skill with a creative style of print making.

We are happy to offer Parker's original polaroid transfers, as well as her newer prints made using a combination of processes, including polaroid transfer and digital techniques, which incorporate text and number fragments within the work. These pieces have a very interesting layered, textured look.
